M Puzzle: Folderol

by Bridget Copley

The diagram below displays the pairs of three-letter words. If you
read the four letters around each four-vertex that have not yet been
used, starting with the circled letter, and then order these tetragrams
in the only way that makes sense, you get the message:

NOWR EADA ROUN DSIX THVE RTEX

Reading in a circle around the sixth four-vertex (i.e., the one you
found RTEX around) is the answer JAYHAWKS.
